How far from the predicted epicenter lived the guys who believed in the 2012 thing?
Maybe some guys came from the north and, when asked about the reasons for their trip they just said "We predicted a 37% chance of the the earth opening and eating our village in about 1000 years, so we decided to move".
Because everywhere else in the US doesn't have other natural disasters. There aren't wildfires in the west, tornadoes in the mid-west, hurricanes in the south, blizzards, snow storms, and ice storms in the north, flooding along the Mississippi...
Dear God! I had to delete three paragraphs of flamebait!
I admit having no idea about the answer to that very interesting question but the fact that the surface changes "when hit by light, at room temperature" makes me suspect it doesn't have much chance on that front.
We need a disk that can only be writen by divine intervention at Hell's main furnace, temperature.
you talk to any of the young, creative designers that are moving things forward, and they will tell you about how all of their designs are being ripped off by mall stores.
If I talked to such people, I'd firat ask which rules they used to prove their desings are completely original and the mall's are rip-offs.
I just did so. Your comment makes me now think you disagree.
I took it as a self evident truth. Kill puny hunams -> Environment is happy and can keep on with whatever it was doing before we started all that killing.
Don't you think the western is much more appropiate to the life you'll probably live in a Grand Theft Whatever game?
After all, in a modern world it's quite a stretch to imagine you can enter a city, kill twenty people, steal a car, go away and never be found. However, in the far west it's just something that could happen and that they were specifically aware about.
I hope it comes to the PC so I can see how well they implemented the possibility of killing an entire city and burning down everything until only a long stain of blood and ashes remains.
Otherwise I'll be forced to carry on with my plan to conque... Some personal project I'm not ready to talk about.
Fueling with algae protects the environment as much as buying a Prius. Alternative fuels do not protect the environment, they only reduce the damage slightly.
Unless it's poisonous algae and it somehow kills all humans.
Or, in the case of the prius... If it's a... hmmm... Decepticon that came to Earth to kill us all!
Ok, ok, I know. My theory makes no sense. The cars were the Autobots.
Im sure that somewhere in the Art Of War there is a few notes on 1 on 1 combat
Knowing "The art of war" its suggestions on how to carry a 1 on 1 combat would probably implicate sending someone unrelated to you, by night, to kill the other one before he even knows that you were having a combat.
And then kill the killer you sent, to leave no trace nor chance of treason.
And somehow use all that situation to teach a lesson to everyone else about how not to be in a situation where you might interpret they were going to eventually pick a fight with you.
Thank you. Finally someone who grew up, or at least knows, my world; as opposed to the fantasy happyland where everyone else seems to have been living on.
Fighting a bully and losing can get you disfigured or killed. Fighting a bully and winning can get you in juvi until you reach 18 and your chances of a happy life are already over.
All that crap about "endure pain" is for people who lived in happyland where bullies didn't carry knives, didn't train martial arts and weren't high or drunk at 11:00am.
"What do I care for your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output."
If the pain comes from multiple stabs in the lung, you've got pretty little time to "Take control of the input"; and the only output you'll try to master is your own blood.
If little Victor Victim was allowed to scrap it up in the 2nd grade with Bobby Bully, while they are equally matched,
What do you do when Bobby Bully crushes Victor Victim head with a stone until it's pulp? Or throws him in an old well and then doesn't tell anybody for a couple of days until Victor Victim bleeds to death?

If the cops come round cos of all your porn, you could just eat the evidence!
Agggh..
The sticky porn collection post turned every other one in the branch into a disgusting, revolting joke.
That depends on how you see it.

It's just too easy to continue that quote.
Seriously? A man named Goldfinger is threatening the Pacific Northwest with tidal waves and earthquakes?
A more reasonable Goldfinger. After all, he barely expects a 37% chance of Mr. Bond dying in the next 50 years.
How do you think current optical media works, with magic or something? Fucking retard.
How stable do you think current non factory-written optical media is for long-term archival storage?

Yes, I know, this is slashdot, I should GTFO

Yet.
If these huge airships become common place you can bet that it will not be long until we have 'airvertising'
You must have a pretty damn good sight.

So, the 'stratellite' is not a satellite and it's not stratospheric.
It'd have been about as correct to call it the Maguilla, for Magma Anguilla, and leave the readers to imagine why on hell would they call it that way.
I expect lots of fanfic about this craft: "1.097 Leagues above the Sea"
Football leagues, I suppose.

Sun Tsu wasn't a happy camper.

And "Twilight" is one of Some Guy's* lesser known novels about exterminating people via vampiric homosexuality.
*: I refuse to search the name of the author of Sparkly Pedos.
There was one, before the typo in the news title was corrected.
Somehow, as I was reading it, that title seemed to have the word "exterminate" in it. But maybe not.
You mean "Extereminate" right?
He didn't mean:
"It is so frustrating [...] where someone says if you really want this to work you have to use Firefox. [as opposed to this always working]"
What he meant was:
"It is so frustrating [...] where someone says if you really want this to work you have to use Firefox [as opposed to Flash]"
That which doesn't kill you, leaves you with a leg 4cm shorter than the other.
Ah yes, the good old "set up a strawman then burn it down" argument.
Dear God! You were supposed to give him a brain!
I fear to ask what you did with the lion and the tin man.
For all I know Alan Turing was great at water polo, my point is that it is irrelevant.
There's no reference to water polo in his biographer's homepage.
Most probably because his prowess was such that any mention would steer the biography away from the purely "math guy" approach.
